Mathematics: Post your doubts here!

[Anum96]

Thanks a lot! I'm sorry actually i seem to have typed out the question wrong in the image!
It's like this (3/(3-2x)) + ((-x-2)/(x^2+4)) and i accidentally typed the first denominator as 3+2x
I'm really sorry but i got the procedure
the answer is
1/2 + 5x/12 +41x^2/72

Hahaha. Oops. Its okay. Youll get 5x/12 as the middle term with that.
You're welcomee!

Any tips on how to write a commentary?
Like the layout and perhaps a list of features and effects to look for?
Can anyone provide me with sample commentaries if you have done in school? (preferably with marks)

Also tips on paper 1 and paper 2 as well to get an A
Thanks in advance

Hello? When y=0 , (x-2)^2 = -3, and that means no real roots for that eq. 2 values for x must be in terms of i

Hi ***amd***
Thanks for replying and yeah its good !

Show that x^2 - x + 1 and x^2 + x + 1 are positive for all real x.
Help please?

Show that x^2 - x + 1 and x^2 + x + 1 are positive for all real x.
Help please?

Put any value of x you'll get a positive result. Why? Because the squared term of both the expressions is positive. You can even use your sketching skills to show.

Help please?

find the min value, and show that it is a cup up graph.

How do you find the midpoint of each ?

1 plus 100 /2
101 plus 150 /2
151 plus 200 /2
and so on....

 

[holoholo]

first midpoint is 50.5 not 50

 

[Anum96]

first midpoint is 50.5 not 50

Oops I corrected. Sorreh!

where did 1 come from ? isn't it 0<=x<=100 so shouldn't it be 0+100/2 ?

 

[***amd***]

that means there are 101 numbers, i.e. 100 numbers, from 1 to 100 (that excludes Zero), and 101 numbers including 'Zero'.

 

[Anum96]

where did 1 come from ? isn't it 0<=x<=100 so shouldn't it be 0+100/2 ?

Yup. include 0. You'll get 101.

How about this one ? Will the first midpoint be 3 or 2.5 ?

3 ^_^

 

[holoholo]

Can you show me how to do it for this one ?

0.1 plus 0.5 / 2
0.6 plus 1 / 2
1.1 plus 2 /2
2.1 plus 3 / 2
and 3.1 plus 4.5 / 2

 

[holoholo]

if it was 2.8<=x<3, is the midpoint 2.8+2.9/2 ?

(0.1+0.5)/2

 

[Anum96]

Yes. If there is a consistent .1 difference
